Mr. Teachbad is sick!

<skip>
And another thing…here’s what makes the place where I work especially disengaging and uncomfortable for teachers and causes them to flee if they are able. Most of the administrators in the building suffer from Diminished Interpersonal Capacity Syndrome or DICS. For example, I have been out all week and spent a day and a half in the hospital. I have emailed my VP/department chair twice, notifying him of my illness and HOSPITALIZATION. Nothing. Not a “get well soon”, or “some of us are hoping you don’t die” or “OK”. Nothing. And it’s Teacher Appreciation Week for Christ’s sake. He’s been my boss for three long-ass years. He hired me. It was another one of those moments when my wife’s jaw dropped as she again came to understand how much less cool my bosses are than hers.

DICS is a terrible condition for those who live and work with sufferers. Presently, there is no cure for DICS and the medical field has been slow to recognize it. Advocates note that people have probably always had DICS, but we are just now able to diagnose it.

3. My feelings on management are as follows.... mediocre management comes to
Edited on Thu May-05-11 07:24 PM by HysteryDiagnosis
work, speaks to people does work, gets paid, goes home. Good management directs others, very good management gets others to do their work for them.

Excellent management is able to cover their screwups and or make them disappear.

Management that has no equal is able to have their screwups fall on the heads of their subordinates, it is akin to godlike management cuz it is no secret that he made a screwed up world but it ultimately is our fault, responsibility, our own (beginning to smell) collective albatross. It ain't fair but it is what it is.

I hope you are feeling better, stock up on the ascorbic acid if you can, it works wonders.
